COMBINATION DISH Application filed July 15,

This invention relates to combination dish mops and. scrapers, an object of the invention being to provide a single article which functions both as a mop and as a scraper, allowing the user to scrape pans and dishes to dislodge substances adhering thereto and then carefully mop the dishes.

A further object is to provide an article of manufacture of this character which can be marketed at a relatively low price, and which will most efliciently perform the functions for which it is intended.

Vith these and other objects in View, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a View in elevation illustrating my improved device;

Figure 2 is a View, partly in elevation and partly in longitudinal section, of the device;

Figure 3 is an enlarged view of one form of strand which may be employed to form a frill.

1 represents a handle on which a bunch of mop strands 2 is secured around an inner core 3 constituting a fixed part ofthe handle. This portion 2, commonly known in the trade as a hunch, is made up of strands of suitable material and may be secured around the head by means of an internal binding wire or cable 4.

Around the strands 2 adjacent their point of engagement with the handle 1 I secure a scraping material 5. The scraping material that I preferably employ consists of flat. metal pieces, usually of copper, which may be caused to surround the mop strands and MOP AND SCRAPER.

1926. Serial No. 122,639.

fixed in any approved manner so as to present a surface for scraping.

A preferred arrangement is to provide a strand such as illustrated in Figure 3, 1n

whichlaced wires 6 are employed to hold the pieces 7 in proper position, and these strands may be formed into complete rings and tightly bound aroundthe top, or they may be otherwise secured around the mop, but, in any event, a suitable portion of the mop strands are covered by tightly held or clamped scraping material of this type, as clearly indicated in the drawings.

The particular illustration, commonly known in the trade, is intended to represent a frill or frills of this material.

In operation, the handle 1 is grasped, and if a dish needs scraping the side of the mop is presented to the surface and the scraping material rubbed over the surface, and then the mop can be used in the ordinary way to clean.

Various slight changes and alterations might be madein the general form of the parts described without departing from the invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

I claim:

As a new article of manufacture, a combined mop and scraper, comprising a handle,

a bunch of mop strands secured around the handle near one end thereof, scraping material secured in a twisted holder and suriii) rounding that portion of the mop strands located around thehandle.
